Pinball Machines are normally crazy expensive. $12,500 is high end but there are a lot more expensive pinball machines.

[@purplepeak8575]

Varkon comes to mind.

[@greggotheeggo]

Try getting a used addams family machine for under that price point

[@justimagine2403]

Try Pinball FX3 and forget all that hardware and vanity spending. Have some fun and the do something else.

[@saeku6398]

You can get the knock-off version in chinatown for cheap, but it has Johnny Depp as Wonka.

[@take0ne]

Hahaha wtf 😂😂😂

[@stgenerations]

For a minute I was like why?! But then I remembered that movie. Ewww

[@laureldaigneault4030]

IGN: the most expensive pinball BigBangBar: am I a joke to you?

[@nastybedazzler]

It's awesome there's still people putting out new machines. The only JJ machine I've played is Wizard of Oz and it was fun enough. My all time favorite has to be Attack From Mars by Williams. I've yet to play any pinball machine that even comes close. Still, these Jersey Jack machines are like the Rolls Royce of pinball, the Wizard of Oz machine was absolutely beautiful in every possible way. This Wonka machine looks no different.

[@toddmurphy3725]

Give this one a try. Just unboxed this one and it is by far my favorite. I also own a The Addams Family, Medieval Madness, Indiana Jones (Williams), Twilight Zone and Fun House, and this is the main part of the collection. The collector's edition is truly a work of art.

[@nastybedazzler]

@@toddmurphy3725 I've played all the machines you listed, and as far as I know Fun House is a hard one for people to get their hands on, the bar I worked at in Williamsburg had it and it was fun.There's a bar about an hour away from here that has a LOT of machines including Wizard of Oz, I wouldn't be surprised if they get one of these new bad boys some time soon. Next time I'm in the area I'll swing by and check it out.

[@introgression]

I've played most all of the Jersey Jack pins and I can say that Wonka and Dialed In are my two favorites. Wizard of Oz is a close second.... But I agree that Jersey Jack are really unmatched when it comes to build quality, reliability, and overall aesthetics.

[@ScottParisi]

Todd Murphy ten years later, I still regret selling my Funhouse. Glad I still have IJ

[@DOOMSDAY-jy6uv]

That thing looks awesome

[@KungFuChess]

Dude on the right looks like the Brawny paper towel guy

[@NicoTheCavapoo]

Hahahahaha

*Pin ball falls down hole* "Stop, Don't, Come Back"

[@michaelscholfield7588]

Nice! I love pinball machines! This is what I played before I knew NES was a thing back in the early 80s, this and Atari/coleccovision (when visiting my cousins ). The giant display reminds me of the Willy Wonka slot machines in Vegas.

[@TylerMcNamer]

Really? Limited? I've played this bad boy almost all the time at Shorty's, a clown themed dive bar. It's amazing! No apologies in saying this, but the table has been the work of pure imagination.

[@VodulinMyer]

My #1 favorite movie of all time.

[@SawBlood45]

I would love to have this one. If I were rich i'd have a room of pinball machines. One day i'd like to at least have the Twilight Zone machine.

[@bishopchalik8561]

Twilight zone is great till you have to fix it. They break a lot

[@SawBlood45]

@@bishopchalik8561 of course lol I mentioned it to a friend, I didn't even know if a Twilight Zone machine actually existed and he goes "...why do you want that one" then he told me there is one and it's very collectible and expensive. I found videos of it it's sooo cool and I still want it.

[@Rejinx]

Everybody: VR is too expensive Pinball Makers: What am I nothing to you?

[@TheTarikEllinger]

*cough* *cough* the supreme pinball machine

[@crispybits6737]

when non players try and explain the game

[@MysticMaven]

Still waiting for them to make a Seinfeld pinball machine.

[@BruceCultureAllen]

*Dragonball Z

[@OtherMike5000]

The Misfits

[@MarvLoco]

That'd be an interesting theme to do!

[@danjacobsen7645]

Yes please that would be awesome.

[@SelgaStudios]

Kids born in 2000 don’t understand the hype!!

[@gestimo6168]

The hype behind pinball?

[@pro-horsepunter5554]

Nice I need this in my cinema room

[@12thMandalorian]

Take it to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Vegas, I bet it’s worth $100 tops

[@Simpsonsfan78]

This video sounds like it would be played at a GameStop

[@G6INIT22]

This pinball machine makes me feel like willy Wonka

[@reeseexplains8935]

This game is just awesome and I wish I could get this game in my house.

[@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

Brb gonna buy one

[@DefNotMyBurner]

This is your standard expensive pinball machine that a rich person would have in their arcade room

[@thescubapup623]

*Supreme runs 35,000 dollars* Supreme: Am I a joke to you IGN? (And even if Supreme charges obscene amounts for their gear, Magic Girl also runs 13,000 dollars...)

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very cool indeed. thanks for posting this too.

[@frankjournal340]

It would have been cool if the pinballs were blue for a violet reference

[@ChawkletStudios]

I enjoy all pinball, I certainly am not a pro but they’re just not the same with the fancy TV screens it just kinda gets rid of the retro spirit

[@noahnoah2935]

Yeah that's not expensive it's fair for a machine like that

[@1sheldon]

I still think wizard of oz is one of the most amazing modern are pins

[@BenBethelAZ]

Those are autographs from the original cast members of the movie... And the price isn't too far off of newer collector's edition pins... I just bought this pin, plus another Pirates of the Caribbean Collector's Edition and that one was $16,500

[@hectorcastrejon]

Was your POTC CE new in box?

[@BenBethelAZ]

@@hectorcastrejon yes...

[@hectorcastrejon]

@@BenBethelAZ Where could you find one?

[@BenBethelAZ]

@@hectorcastrejon go to the website for Jersey Jack pinball and deal with Jen who is their salesperson... There are only a certain amount of the collector's edition available and after that hopefully it will go up in value... I bought the Pirates of the Caribbean collector's edition that they make which originally sold for $12,500 but I bought it for $16,500 and I've seen it for sale as high as $24,000... However the wonka collector's edition was an edition of 500 machines and the pirates was 200 machines.

[@hectorcastrejon]

@@BenBethelAZ I actually spoke to her but told me they didnt have any left... ):

[@tedioustotoro4885]

Aside from the Great Glass Elevator and the signatures, what are the differences between the standard and collectors editions?

[@raywest6943]

Tedious Totoro the limited had custom work and the autographs of the kids in the movie

[@billycrna]

The following are also unique to this machine: inside side blade art, outside rad cals, mirrored back glass, integrated under cabinet lighting, call outs from the actor who played Veruca Salt. I'm sure I missed a few others.

[@eiamstaples2659]

Well I just got one

[@MarvLoco]

That's awesome you got a hold of one. What's your favorite part of the pin?

[@avd1427]

Supreme is way more expensive due to it’s rarity

[@introgression]

Golden elevator toy.... I think it's called a Wonkavator.

[@TedHooper]

Not even close the prototype KRULL machine sold for $50,000

[@justimagine2403]

Richie Rich - only 1 made. Pinball Circus.

[@billycross1798]

I want a Lollipop Guild pinball machine, not Wizard of Oz, just Lollipop Guild.

[@chelocheliniXD]

Looks like the ideas on feature pinball forums,

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Rick from pawnstars I'll give you 100$

[@purplepeak8575]

Varkon is more expensive due to it's rarity.

[@ARFF1Tampa]

Pricing themselves out of business. That's why they then came out with a cheap Star Wars version that is also way overpriced. Yes, $7500 - $12,500 and it's cash only, no financing. I got $12,000 for a 13th check this year right when this came out and said no, can't do it. At least the don't terribly depreciate.

[@rawdog268]

pricing nothing out of anything,they always sell out of the limited and thats the only way i buy

[@1updominoes892]

Gary Tinschert Jersey Jack hasn’t made a Star Wars pin. You’re thinking about Stern I believe

[@SpitfireSenpaii]

Oh I played this pinball cab earlier this year

[@Brandebury]

This is basically a pachislot in pinball form.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

It was inevitable that we'd get video monitors with our pinball machines these days.

[@TheRiddimSouljah]

Beatles Diamond edition ltd to 100 pcs at around $19-20k, thinking that might be way more money and less pcs available, title misleading in typical IGN fashion

[@vwroccars]

TheRiddimSouljah again another bad pinball machine!

[@raywest6943]

It’s a great machine. I played it @freeplayflorida. I couldn’t get off it

[@Emolga6274]

Imagine buying it and it breaks the day

[@yupyup6821]

Most people who spend that much on pinball know how to fix them

[@Drvol1]

Don't care how I want it now

[@adcruzingto]

thats a CE not an LE

[@creedleichtle1770]

Sam!!! Go mop a sec.

[@dizzillion5536]

I have 2 in my basement

[@vwroccars]

Dylan Downard I’m sorry!

[@tobeymaguire3426]

But can it be eaten?

[@Packgammon]

Sure. All Jersey Jack pinball machines are fully biodegradable. The CE version takes 12,500 yrs though.

[@derrickwalker4986]

I wanna eat it

[@CHINASAUR]

😱😱😱

[@stevencabrera9117]

does anyone here actually play pinball?

[@vwroccars]

They just look at them. . . Oh boy flashy lights and a screen! CRAP!!!

[@Lilkumas]

Jeffree star just shown this on this last video

[@HeReads]

Kit's Life I was just about to say this lol

[@emersonm-b9500]

Roman atwood has this

[@wiseguy1305]

Who cares

[@Pro6WG]

Cool

[@Deka4891]

DELICIOUS! 🤪👏🏼

[@falcon_13]

Last

[@zombie3833]

Stop poorly attempting to cover pinball.

[@vwroccars]

Another crappy pinball machine, YAY!!! The Big Labowski is higher priced and just as bad. So overpriced, but it has this, that, and all those!!!! Just another shitty pinball machine. Go get a an EM pinball, much better!!
